Frozen in Time, Putting the Stigma on Ice: The 10th Annual Philadelphia Kiki Awards Ball

Hall of Famers Mike Versace, Lamish Maybach, and Ziggy Mona Lisa—along with the support of the City of Philadelphia Department of Public Health and Bebashi—present the 10^th annual Philadelphia Kiki Awards Ball. Themed “Frozen in Time: Putting the Stigma on Ice,” the Ball promises to be an energetic evening celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community through performance, fashion, and creativity. This free event is inspired by the traditional Ballroom community but offers greater accessibility and a less competitive format to encourage youth and young adults to engage in the experiences of friendly competition and community. The Department of Public Health’s involvement with and presence at the Kiki Awards Ball aligns with its ongoing Philly Keep On Loving initiative, working to connect greater-risk populations with information and resources supporting sexual health and wellness. Doors open at 5:00 p.m., with the awards kick off promptly at 6:00 p.m. and the LSS starting at 7:00 p.m.
